I didn't have an inner tube and the puncture is beyond repair.. was nowt to do with the weather.
As for not sweating, Boris, you're a freak. Even when I was fit and slim, I would sweat torrents.
How was your cycle commute?

No, I meant you are a pussy for not being able to manage a steep hill

Cheers. I sweat in the gym or playing football and feel the ache afterwards. Cycling here is no sweat (v flat). I do 30km a couple of nights a week. Guess I must have the build for it.

I only cycled monday and tuesday after 2 weeks off the bike but I have noticed that pedestrians seem to have got even more reckless/stupid . I had 3 near misses from people walking out in front of me on Monday and another 2 on Tuesday . And the car drivers weren't much better 
Although I was quite chuffed to only have to stop at 1 traffic light on the way home on Tuesday , I still haven't managed the elusive 0 red lights yet

The flatness may have a lot to do with it.

How many lights do you have to go through . I always end up having to stop at the end of acre lane

It's knackering! Not sure if I've ever done City-Brixton without a single red, though. There are loads of lights on that route.

13 on my ride to work here. I always try and do it without putting a foot down.

I count the foot down as stopping , if I'm not moving but able to keep my feet on the pedals and balance then I haven't stopped

You don't do that stupid balancing act do you?

No I'm crap at doing that . I just know how the lights on my journey go so if I see a red light ahead then I slow down so I don't have to stop . Thats why the lights at Brixton Town Hall fuck me up , there is no real scope for going slow because there are too many cars waiting at the lights !

you mean trackstands? Yes. A good skill to have IMO

only if you can't balance.

why? It just seems a stupid waste of concentration and energy
Boris Sprinkler

well, for example I don't use spd's and if i have to start off cycling from a light trying to get a toe into clips, that impeeds my concentration. Therefore, stay as you are. Take off easily.
Plus it looks cool, once you get it sussed there is nothing better thatn cycling backwards out of a trackstand and spinning the bike into a forwards momentum. Of course, you don't to do that on the daily commute.

It's just a stupid show off thing. No practical use, esp if you use SPDs

Are you saying it's useful if you use SPDs?
